Hello, I have Linux Mint on my old laptop and I have been configuring Conky and I can run it good from Terminal and the Alt+F2 command but when I configure Mint to load it on system startup it does not load properly. It practically loads over the status bar. I will provide a picture below.

Hello SynGates. Edit your .conkyrc file, it should be located at /home/your_username_here unless you are loading a custom configuration file, look for "own_window_type" and try with "override", "desktop" and "normal" values. Try them in the exposed order, save your configuration after each try and reaload conky with its .conkyrc file. Examples:

Hello everyone. You're welcome dawgdoc, desktop value works right with conky on Mint; there's only one little disadvantage, if you press the button or hit the keybind to show the desktop conky also gets iconified, but at the moment I haven't found a better solution. If you use only a window manager, like openbox, override value works as it has to. Wish you all a great day!.
